We need the ‘twos and threes’

Taking a wedding recently I stood before the couple to be married and was deeply touched by the level of emotion that they both demonstrated as we sang the first hymn. They were clearly in love, and their journey to the altar had not been without its difficulties and trials.

In June Ray & Donna ran a 6 week Christianity Explored course at their home. These are the comments from those who attended.
'Christianity Explored helped me to explore Christianity in a relaxed and informal way. The evenings were fun and I felt comfortable expressing thoughts and asking questions.

Christianity Explored helped me to have a better understanding of who Jesus is.I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to explore Christianity or who wants to know who Jesus is and explore the Bible.'
